There's empty threats to the words they emit. A shallow way to get through you. Invisible is what you become when you let your guard down. It's all said in the songs of the people that knew you. But what do they know? It's all just meaningless words. Yet, like an infected bullet wound, the sickness just spread right through you. And you find yourself on the outside looking in, watching all the kids with the same story behind them creeping in. That is the life that knew you.

You hear their cries from within. A haunting memory from when you were in the outside knocking out. Before any hand could come and take yours and make a name for you. You find yourself simply smiling at the door, hearing the catastrophes unfold but it's too late now. You're in the light. That's what you wanted right? So, why are you crying? Why are you simply looking in? Why can't you shine light on the shadows that once knew you.

There's lies in the light behind you, burning you at your core. You know you can't stop the things that made who you are. It's all in the past that knew you. You see the lies, the broken truths, the pettiness of all you knew. Everyone so imperfect it sickens you and their beauty goes right through you.

You find this God in you. A perfect being you thought you knew because he'd never leave you behind. You'd sing until your throat went dry. But this constant is never really truly with you. You can't shake off the voice of the past, the present looking ever so sad, the future more uncertain than the thoughts they feed you.

It's hurts so much. Who can you trust when all that knew you has been burned alive? You find yourself on your knees, bruises and cuts line the streets of your body. You've fallen on the ground but that doesn't quite get through you.

A simple broken cry of all your sins and increasings lies, you're screaming out to the skies that you can't possibly know what holds. It's comforting to know you're alone especially as you've learned that love's a grey sky ready to rain with battle cries. You wish to scream louder than them. Louder than the shadows and the light that knew you. And you cry and cry. A simply word of hallelujah.
